This isn’t a colour that features strongly in my life. I just don’t like it very much. It’s also rather difficult to photograph, I’ve just discovered - goes very dark. Bet you can’t guess what the bottom right one is… (I’ll tell you later in the week, because I can’t keep a secret. You know how the conversation goes:
Me: Guess what I got you for your birthday!
You: I’d rather wait and have a surprise on the day.
Me: No, go on, guess! You’ll NEVER guess right!
You: I’ll just wait for my birthday.
Me: I’ll give you a hint.

You’re so funny - I can’t believe you blabbed (on only the third comment)!!
